Couldnt pass up the irony of the 8 year wait
AA50 $300…. yikes!!!!!
-
I just purchased BOTB for 19.99 and was shocked to see all links for AA50 were sold out or charging $300. I got mine about three weeks ago for $75. Are there any cheaper sites?
-
Well, that was quick. A week ago, when there was word of AA50 selling out sporadically, I checked and saw that both Boards & Bits (where I bought mine) and Funagain had it in stock for their usual prices. Now - gone!
Edit: just checked BoardGameGeek’s entry for the game and saw that the usual Sci-Fi City ad is still in place. But going to the site, it’s no longer there.

Check out the price on Amazon.com!
-
wow, i heard they were not making any more, so i wanted to buy a second one. i called all around and found only 2 in town. so i bought one, now i plan to keep one put away, or maybe sell it on ebay. $130 on ebay now. wait a few months and it might be worth more than gold.
-
A friend of mine bought the last AA50 at a local FLGS FOR $89.99.
I told him if you don’t I will!
-
Wow…. does anyone know where i can buy a copy that doesnt cost a fortune??
-
google the internet. Prices will drive higher each day. The longer you wait the more it will cost. It will never go down in price.
-
i got mine on Craigslist about 1 week ago, used for $65. one dice missing, and a dime sized indent on the little board for tracking your income that noone uses.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say I got a hell of a deal.
-
I bought mine a week ago from my store here for $130 Canadian. They have around a dozen copies.
Mission Fun and Games in St.Albert, Alberta.
Try them
Cheers

Well if it is a better game then Revised won’t there be a reissue?
-
It cost too much to make it in the same quantity as revised.

Does this go for Jeff’s the Wargame, too ?
-
No because he is doing direct sales for the most part. If he sells to other retailers he wont give them much of a discount, so they cant really compete with his standard price since anybody who tried would find the game to order for cheaper from him directly. Plus it does not have a track record of nearly 30 years to go on. He has sold about 70% of his inventory so far.

I bought mine for 99.99$ at coolstuffinc.com
I think they still have some copies.
But 99 is still a lot of money, I can understand if people don’t want to pay that much. But for the quality time and fun I am expecting from the games I will play (I haven’t played yet, I just received few days ago), I think it is worth the money.

just checked coolstuff. they redirect you to amazon where there are 2 listings for 195.00 and 299.00
-
Ah sorry, couldn’t post it quick enough
It was still 99.99$ like 2-3 weeks ago (I ordered the 4th April). They had 9 copies when I ordered. There wasn’t that 2 limit per client when I ordered

$130 cdn is still about $110 US. Mission has a dozen copies, and they do ship. Try them.

FYI, they raised their price too; I just bought their last copy for $160 CDN (came to $143 USD with shipping).
The next cheapest I found was $170 USD at http://www.coolstuffinc.com (they have 4 left).
I meant to preorder it but I’ve been busy and it fell off my radar… I’m kicking myself because some stores had it for ~$75 only a few months ago. D’ohhh!
-
Mission is now soldout. Coolstuff still has 4 left at 170usd. I bought from them about a month ago when they had 12 for 75usd.
-
I told you people to buy 6 copies like 9 months ago!
See you could have created a new commodity with more value than gold.
